Anne Hathaway looks decidedly unimpressed.

As if she has room to criticize a Oscar presentation opening bit...

They had access to Lin Manuel Miranda and didn’t get him to write the opening?  Stupid people.

This. Those raps that he wrote during the Tony's for NPH were great.

 

[mojoween]

If there is no host, why are we listening to Steve and Chris do schtick?

[mtlchick]

Someone just got blocked from their Amazon Prime services with that joke.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I just never want to see that opening again. LALALALALALALALALALALALALA.

[vb68]

Steve Martin and Chris Rock are killing it.

Gotta make sure the show runs long and stick with tradition. 

[Bees52]

Are they sure there's no host/s this year? Steve and Chris seem kinda host-y to me....

[ShadowHunter]

Chris and Steve are pretty good together lol.

Anyone else think that Taika Waititi strongly resembles Greg Louganis?

Now that will be all I can see when I see him

[Sharpie66]

That opener was only saved by Janelle. She needed a song with more funk in it. The dancers were working really hard, too, but they always do. 

[Crs97]

And let the awkwardness continue

[Browncoat]

Smooth correction to Steve's pronunciation of Cynthia's name.

[ebk57]

What's missing tonight?  Vaginas.  

 

[scarynikki12]

You know, if they continue to have it officially be host free but bring in unofficial hosts that could get around the pre-show drama.

LIN!!!! Lin is there everyone!!

With the deal he just cut with Disney, he's not only there but also owns a chunk of it!

[tennisgurl]

I am always fascinated when hosts/presenters spend their whole Oscar time telling the Oscars to fuck themselves. 

[scarynikki12]

Corden likes Regina’s dress’s 

[mojoween]

Regina King looks stunning.  That pink is gorgeous on her.

[mtlchick]

I still want my Angela Bassett vs Viola Davis arm wrestling match but if one of them cannot commit, Regina King would be a great sub.

[superdeluxe]

They could’ve kept that opening with Janelle Monae.

Chris Rock And Steve Martin killed it.

Regina King is beautiful.

[tennisgurl]

Nobody screams while gesturing like Al Pacino.

[Bees52]

Regina King... she makes me wish we had one more season of The Watchmen.

Considering both Steve and Chris have also both hosted it would be a good idea.  I also liked the year Steve co-hosted with Alec Baldwin.

She's my best dressed of the night

[tennisgurl]

Regina is so beautiful I can hardly stand to see her, it’s like looking at the sun.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Ok let's get on with the award already.

She frequently is. Love her, love almost everything she wears.

[Toodleoo]

Regina’s arms are life goals. 

[Misslindsey]

I knew Brad would win, but I would have preferred pretty much anyone else. I did not like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I am not a Tarantino fan either.

[Ohwell]

BRAD!!!!!!

[mtlchick]

Finally Brad has his acting Oscar!

[thuganomics85]

Regina King should introduce, well, everything.  She can make anything sound pivotal and epic!

 And Brad gets his acting Oscar.  I'm sure this will finally launch him to the big times!

[AimingforYoko]

Supporting role in a Tarantino flick, surest road to an Oscar.

[yowsah1]

Brad Pitt wins Best Supporting Actor, no surprises here.

[Catgyrl]

Now that will be all I can see when I see him

LOL! Sorry about that! I've never seen him except in Jojo Rabbit, so when I saw him tonight, it blew my mind. So handsome.

[Neeners]

Is Brad with his mom? If so, he didn't even hug her!

[ShadowHunter]

Woohoo Brad Pitt. Congrats.

[bmoore4026]

Foregone conclusion with Brad Pitt winning.  I actually am happy for him, regardless.

[Fostersmom]

Congrats to Brad! That was a really tough category this year. 

[wallflower75]

That was an interesting way to show us clips from the nominated performances.  And so begins the first of many predictable awards...man, I pray there's an upset somewhere...like in Best Picture...

[Misslindsey]

I like Regina King, but her dress is kind of meh for me. I do not love it or hate it.

[scarynikki12]

I like this montage of the nominated performers. It flows nicely. 

Brad!!!

[tennisgurl]

I can’t believe it’s Brads first acting award! I guess it took awhile for Hollywood to notice that he was actually a decent actor as well as hot. 

[formerlyfreedom]

Two of the best supporting actor nominees weren't even there? Wow, has that happened before?

[kittykat]

Aaaand the first Not surprise of the night. 

When I walked out of the theater, I knew you were winning Brad.  Well deserved for one of you greatest performances.

Renee Zelleweger has the other sleeve.

James Corden and Rebel Wilson are presenting together? The Cats jokes are on high alert.

it’s 2019’s Internet Boyfriend Keanu Reeves and his mama who looks stunning. 

 

 

James Corden fan-boyed all over Keanu’s mum!

[kib]

Nice to see someone that good looking finally getting a break...

[Browncoat]

Brad Pitt and Mahershala Ali in the same shot -- my TV can't handle all the gorgeousness.
